National final
The selection for the UK's entry took place on Friday 31 March 1995 in A Song For Europe '95, hosted, as ever, by Terry Wogan. After three years of having one act perform all the nominated songs, the UK national round for 1995 reverted to a multi-artist format which remained in place until 2010 (from 2011 to 2015, the BBC internally selected their performer and song).
The UK public decided on the winning song, and the results were as follows:
Draw | Artist | Song | Place | Votes |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Deuce | I Need You | 3rd | 73,467 |
2 | Paul Harris | Spinning Away | 7th | 19,239 |
3 | Londonbeat | I'm Just Your Puppet On A... (String!) | 6th | 35,434 |
4 | Sox | Go For The Heart | 4th | 65,436 |
5 | FFF | Then There's A Knock At The Door | 8th | 17,216 |
6 | Dear Jon | One Gift Of Love | 2nd | 81,359 |
7 | Simon Spiro | Rainbows And You | 5th | 43,299 |
